4.3 is more stable and addresses a large number of items that were known
to cause issues. I would suggest updating to 4.3, if possible. One of
those changes is more flexible panels including sizes.
This is one of the few areas where I have a complaint with the various
Distros. They are inconsistent with what version of the desktop
environments they make available. KDE 4.3 has been out since late
spring (for instance) - there is no reason it can't be included in the
repositories. Instead we see Ubuntu forcing the masses to wait until
9.10 is released (next week) before 4.3 is considered "standard". Sure
there are ways to get 4.3 sooner, but that requires knowledge of
tweaking repositories and is prone to errors/frustrations (thinking of
the mythical "common user" here). But I've ranted on this before.. :)
The point is, a lot of the issues that caused problems/concerns in 4.2
were already fixed, but the distros are slow to role out the more recent
stable version, so we still see those problems/concerns being talked
about. Even though the KDE team has addressed them already. KDE takes
the bad rap for bugs that the distro maintainers have chosen to leave in
place....
Anyways, if you can upgrade to 4.3, I believe most of your issues will
be handled...

Which version of KDE4 are we talking about here? There are very large
differences between each of them.
Sorry about that...it's 4.2
